Testo When the World Was Young - Aretha Franklin
Testo della canzone When the World Was Young (Aretha Franklin), tratta dall'album Take a Look - The Clyde Otis Sessions (Remastered)
It isn't by chance I happen to be
The belle of the ball, the toast of Paris
Over the noise, the talk and the smoke
I'm good for a laugh, a drink or a joke
I walk in a room, a party or a bar
"Come sit over here", somebody will call
A drink for my friends, a drink for them all
But how many times I stop and recall
Ah, the apple trees
Blossoms in the breeze
That we walked among
Lying in the hay
Games we used to play
While the rounds were sung
Only yesterday
When the world was young
Wherever I go they mention my name
And that in itself is some sort of fame
"Come by for a drink, we are having a game"
Wherever I go, I'm so glad I came
The talk is quite gay, the company's fine
There's laughter and lights
And glamour and wine
And thousands of men, some who were mine
But often my eyes see a different shine
Ah, the apple trees
Sunlit memories
Where the hammock swung
On our backs we'd lie
Looking at the sky
'Til the stars were sprung
Only yesterday
When the world was young
